Abstract

Methods and systems for detecting completion of hold time for a user on a call are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for detecting completion of hold time for a user on a call may include monitoring an audio signal of a call that has been placed on hold between a first device associated with the user and a first entity, determining a change in the monitored audio signal that indicates that the call is no longer on hold and generating a first alert to inform the user that the call is no longer on hold.
